The '''PRC Subdivision''' is a [[railway]] line owned and operated by the [[Rapid City, Pierre and Eastern Railroad]] (RCPE), a subsidiary of [[Genesee & Wyoming]]. The line is the company's important east–west route, connecting [[Pierre, South Dakota|Pierre]] to [[Rapid City, South Dakota|Rapid City]], both in [[South Dakota]]. The line is a freight-only line, stretching for approximately {{convert|170|mi}} across central [[South Dakota]]. It uses the [[Chicago and North Western Railroad Bridge]] to cross the [[Missouri River]] between Pierre and Fort Pierre.<br />
<br />
The route is not equipped with [[centralized traffic control]] or [[automatic block signalling]] systems. Traffic is controlled via radio under [[track warrant control]] rules.<br />
<br />
In addition to [[rail yard|freight yards]] located at [[Pierre, South Dakota|Pierre]] and [[Rapid City, South Dakota|Rapid City]], there are [[passing loop|passing sidings]] at [[Philip, South Dakota|Philip]] and [[Wall, South Dakota|Wall]]. Formerly, there was also a wye at Wall. There is also a {{convert|6000|ft|adj=on}} long passing siding named J.C.&nbsp;Siding {{convert|25|mi}} west from [[Pierre, South Dakota|Pierre]]. At other locations only spur tracks exist.<br />
<br />
==Connections==<br />
The PRC Subdivision connects with [[Pierre Subdivision]] at [[Pierre, South Dakota|Pierre]] and with [[Black Hills Subdivision]] at [[Rapid City, South Dakota|Rapid City]]. There was also a spur track connection to [[Ellsworth Air Force Base]] at [[Box Elder, South Dakota|Box Elder]]. This connection is not active as it was closed off in 2004 by the U.S. Air Force.{{cn|date=February 2023}}<br />
<br />
There are no connections to other rail traffic operators along this line.<br />
